Dele Alli sends 'family' message to Sergi Roberto and Como team-mates as ex-Tottenham star appears to deliver training ground speech

Roberto, who joined the Italian club last summer after his Barcelona contract expired, shared a series of photos from Como's training. In one of the images, former Tottenham star Dele can be seen giving a team talk to his colleagues.

In the caption of his Instagram post, Roberto tagged Como's official handle and posted blue and white hearts. In the comments section, Dele wrote: "Family."

After sitting out for over two years with injury problems, Dele returned to the football pitch on March 15 as he debuted for the Serie A side. His maiden game, however, turned out to be a disaster as he was sent off for a high challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek within 10 minutes of coming off the bench. Despite the disappointing start, Como president Mirwan Suwarso backed the English midfielder to shine in Italy.

Cesc Fabregas' side will be back in action in Serie A next Saturday as they take on Empoli at home, looking to push towards the top half of the table in the run-in.
